West Brom skipper Carson: Liverpool keeper Reina among best in world

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Scott Carson rates former Liverpool teammate Pepe Reina among the best shot-stoppers in the world.

Carson, 24, could not dislodge Reina at Anfield before leaving for West Brom in 2008 - and still rates him extremely highly.

He said: "Pepe is in the top half-a-dozen keepers in the world.

"There's Cech, Casillas, Van der Sar - and Reina is definitely up there.

"I felt for him after the Arsenal game. It was one of those things where he miscontrolled the ball and if a keeper does that it's a goal.

"But he's played since and it's not been a problem.

"That's what makes Reina a top keeper. You make mistakes but move on."
